Shrimp Scampi

I'm excited to share this dinner with you - it was one of those nights when I left work (and a Happy Hour with Julie and Jen!) that I had no idea what I was going to make for dinner. I was pretty sure I had a bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer and thought I could maybe grill that and serve with some rice and veggie... kind of like what I did last night minus the chicken. So got home, found the shrimp, put it in some cold water to start thawing and then visions of sugarplums scampi danced in my head. A quick google later this is the first recipe that popped up from Simply Recipes. Luckily I had all the ingredients and prepared this dish (click here for my slightly tweaked version)

Time to cook

Dinner is done and served over some angel hair pasta - super fast, super good!

John gave it 4+ stars and even ate the leftovers before it hit the refrigerator!
